Top tips for hiring a car in Bronx

There is much in and around the Bronx to discover, and the easiest and most convenient way is by car. Visit the Yankee Stadium in the southwest of the borough or Pelham Bay Park on the other side in the northeast. A car will give you the greatest freedom to explore everything the Bronx has to offer and to venture out beyond its borders along the Hudson River, to either Lower Manhattan or the coastline towards Connecticut.

The closest airport to the Bronx is LaGuardia Airport, about 10 miles from the Bronx’s center. Via the I-278 E, travelers will get to the center in about 20 minutes, but bear in mind that this route has tolls, so ask at the hire agency how to cover the fee if you’re unsure. Conveniently, there are various car hire agencies on the airport grounds, and shuttles bring travelers directly from terminal A to the hire center. There are also shuttle buses to terminal A, should you land at another terminal.

Driving in such a big city as New York can be daunting for some drivers, but it doesn’t have to be. True, the city can be congested and traffic is a permanent issue, but when adhering to the speed limits, driving defensively, and staying relaxed, there is no need to worry. There are many participants in the traffic of the Bronx, including pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport, so driving with extra attention is important.

Rush hour in New York can be intense and usually hits the hardest between 7-9 in the morning and 5-8pm in the evening. Evening rush hour tends to be even more clogged up, so planning to drive outside of these hours is advisable. Especially the I-90 Cross Bronx expressway can have long traffic jams in and out of the city; one possibility to circumnavigate it is by driving on the 84 instead.
